Fight Malaria: Support Doctors Without Borders

Imagine holding your child in your arms as they take their last breath from a preventable disease. Every minute, malaria claims the life of a child. This is the heartbreaking reality for families in South Sudan, where a surge in malaria cases is devastating communities.

Doctors Without Borders is on the frontlines, providing critical care and fighting to save lives. But they need our help. Since September, they’ve treated thousands of severe malaria cases, but the need for more mobile medical centers and preventative care is urgent.

This holiday season, we’re raising $5,000 to support their lifesaving mission. Your donation will help fund treatment, prevention, and outreach to reduce malaria deaths and improve health outcomes. Together, we can fight the bite and save lives.

Donate today and make this season one of healing.

The Benevolent Society of Bilge Rats is an informal group of sailors, scallywags, rascals, black sheep, ne'er-do-wells, and a few decent folk who found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. We don't agree on much, and most of what we do agree on probably shouldn't be shared outside a dimly-lit tavern down by the docks. On our best days, though, we can do a good thing together. Let's all pitch in to donate something to a worthy cause.

The mission of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is to provide impartial medical relief to the victims of war, disease, and natural or man-made disaster, without regard to race, religion, or political affiliation.

On February 16, 2025 I’ll be running the Austin marathon —not just for the challenge, but to make a difference. I’m raising funds for Doctors Without Borders, a global organization that delivers lifesaving medical care to people affected by conflict, natural disasters, and other crises.

This cause holds a special place in my heart. A few years after the Iran-Iraq war ended, my parents worked as doctors in a small border-town hospital. One day, a shepherd limped in, his foot torn open. To my young eyes, it didn’t look like a foot at all. My father explained that the shepherd had stepped on a land mine miles away and somehow walked here with his flock. Outside, his sheep waited, scattered along the blood trail he’d left in the courtyard. My father stitched him up as best as he could. This marathon is my way of continuing that humanitarian support.

Doctors Without Borders is on the front lines, providing care to the world’s most vulnerable populations, often under unimaginable conditions. Every donation, no matter the size, helps:

• Treat malnutrition in children.

• Perform surgeries in conflict zones.

• Offer essential vaccinations in remote areas.

My Goal:

I’m aiming to raise $7500 to support this incredible work. While I don’t have a huge social network, I believe in the power of community and shared purpose.

How You Can Help:

1. Donate what you can—every dollar makes a difference.

2. Share this campaign with friends, family, and colleagues.

Thank you for your support, whether it’s through a contribution, a share, or cheering me on as I train for this marathon. Together, we can help bring hope and healing to those who need it most.

My name is Hailee Powe. I am a senior at Haverhill High School where I am in the Healthcare Occupations program.

I am doing a Capstone project that consists of raising money for a non-profit organization called Doctors Without Borders. This organization travels to countries such as Haiti and South Africa that don't have access to healthcare. They provide medical support such as medications, vaccinations, and surgical kits.

Would you kindly consider donating to my project? 100% of the funds raised will go directly to Doctors Without Borders. They will be able to purchase more supplies in order to help those in need. Any donations are deeply appreciated.

On our day representing our love we could think of no better expression of that love than a contribution to one of the finest groups that embodies the love and solidarity between us. All around the world these people share their love with hands on aid to people in some of the most dire need so please join us in sharing what love we can with them to help their efforts.

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Doctors Without Borders, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
